The Working People’s Alliance (WPA) says it is extremely concerned about recent developments in the banking sector where sworn affidavits submitted by clients to banks have been refused.
In a statement on Friday, the party said it has received several complaints from disgruntled clients of some banks whose sworn affidavits from Justices of the Peace, Commissioners of Oaths to Affidavits and from the Notary Public have been refused by those institutions.
The WPA, a former member of the governing APNU+AFC coalition, said it is even more alarmed at complaints that self- employed persons have been instructed to present Statements of Income that are prepared, stamped and signed only by certified accountants and accounting firms.
